“My experiences of working with Dirk have been nothing but positive. He combines a thorough grasp of modern recording techniques with hands-on experience of how musicians work – a rare and valuable combination of skills. Added to this his meticulous attention to detail – nothing is too much trouble and he is not happy with anything but the best result possible. I enjoy working with him immensely.” Philip Sparke, composer

"Dirk Fischer is an excellent recording engineer. His professional qualities surpass that of many of his colleagues worldwide, not only because of his extensive knowledge of common and brand-new recording techniques, but also because of his strive for perfection and his limitless patience in working with and for all kinds of recording artists in all music genres. It has always been a pleasure working with Mr. Fischer because he is one of the rare and exceptional engineers who will take time to satisfy my wishes, even under the most difficult circumstances. I can recommend him to anyone, worldwide." Niels Bijl, saxophonist

“Transparency, clearity, freshness, eloquency, conviction - these are the attributes I, as a fortepiano player, pursue to accomplish in the sounds I make. During my recording sessions with Dirk his accurate technique and sensitive personality made them become real. It is such a pleasure to have someone like him, with whom I can share the same perspective on sound with one click, without any effort.” Chie Hirai, fortepianist
